hey really guys i wanted to ask you
hows the situation there?is everyone ok?Burke?Enron?Andy?Dru?
Is it as shitty as its described on the news?
Yeah everybody on here is okay. But this hurricane is causing a lot of problems and if mother nature wants to, she could make New Orleans go to hell pretty quickly.

No idea why people would want to go back there after this storm. Two amazingly strong hurricanes in four years hitting the same city is warning enough.

Times have changed in the Atlantic and New Orleans should not be considered a viable place for a long term investment.

New Orleans is our sinking Venice, IMO.

That said, it's easy for people not from there to question why anyone would stay there. People are often like Harry Truman in the shadows of an erupting Mt. St. Helens -- they'd rather die than live another way of life somewhere else.

It was bound to happen.

Of course you can't judge the people for living where they want to live. But what I'm questioning is the sanity of building a whole city under sea-level at a place ripe for cyclones?

You might as well build yourself a bomb and have a computer randomly set a time for it to go off and place it under your bed.
